Glenwood Springs residents might spot a familiar face on Colorado Public Television on Dec. 27.

The Denver-based station will air “Daniel Sprick: Pursuit of Truth and Beauty.” The hour-long documentary details the life and career of painter Daniel Sprick, a Glenwood native.

“It really is an honor,” said Sprick, who moved to Denver five years ago. “I find the whole thing kind of flattering and mildly embarrassing. It means a lot to me that public television wanted to do this.”

Sprick’s oil paintings are photorealistic depictions of his subjects, whether landscapes, portraiture or still lifes. His work is in a number of public collections, including the Denver Art Museum and National Museum of American Art.
